    There’s no time like the present to make progress on your career planning goals. Wilfrid Laurier University’s Career Development Centre is here for you – the new Laurier graduates, the students seeking summer employment, and any Golden Hawk looking to take the next step in their career-development journey – offering virtual services all spring and summer long.

    The Career Centre team works with employers representing almost every industry in Canada. They are also your go-to team for further education resources.

    So what are you waiting for? Seize the spring and summer days to set yourself up for success in the next stage of your career plan.

    Career development services are available throughout the year to support current students and alumni in their career planning, further education and job search efforts.

    • Resumé development and polishing – yes, that includes a proofreading service!
    • One-on-one appointments – same-day appointments, drop-ins.
    • Workshops, certificate programs and employer sessions – view all and register through Navigator.
    • Virtual networking support – set up an (iced) coffee chat.

    Job Search and Further Education Support for New Grads

    When we say you’re a Golden Hawk for life, we mean it. Whether you’re about to graduate or you took your last step on campus twenty years ago, your career support does not stop. Alumni may utilize our services at any time during their career.

    For spring or fall 2021 graduates, it’s not too late to reach out for support in planning your next steps. For 2022 graduates, the summer is a great time to prepare for grad recruiting for full-time employment or to start planning for further education.

    Looking to Further Your Education…?

    Thinking about further education? Let’s explore if further education fits into your career plan. Connect with the Career Centre team to chat about the admissions process or review your application documents with a further education consultant.

    Check out all of the further education resources to identify strategies to build your experience and increase your chances for success.

    Looking to Get Started in Your Career…?

    We’re looking ahead to summer 2022 – are you planning to graduate next spring? Recruitment for full-time positions starts earlier than you might expect, but we have you covered with the Graduating Student Employment Service (GSES). The Career Centre team will start posting full-time jobs targeting final-year students starting in July of 2021 and will continue to post opportunities throughout the year.

    Attend a drop-in session on April 8 or attend a GSES orientation on June 15 or June 17. Orientation sessions will give a more in-depth overview of the GSES program, advice and tips for job search during the pandemic.

    Support All Year Long

    While the sun is shining, our team is busy connecting you to the networks, job postings and services you need for career and employment success. Visit Navigator and our website to gain access to these valuable resources 365 days a year.
